Height comparison

Mar 26, 2009 18:12

Can anyone please point me to a chart or some such that would allow me to compare heights for my characters? I've got a bit where I'm writing an argument between a six-foot-nine guy and a five-foot-two woman, as seen by a third party, and I'm trying to gauge what part of him the top of her head would be on a level with. Thanks!

Googling height chart I get this . Simply add your own people cutouts.

Ooh, very useful! I should have thought to consider one of those police line-up grids. Thanks!

I doodled it on a post-it out of curiosity. Looks like she'd be looking at the center of his chest, probably right about the end of the sternum.

As someone who's inch under what's being asked and has hung out with people who were that tall, that's about right.

That's about what I was imagining, but not being an artist, I figured I'd better ask to be utterly certain.

Just her being a little shorter and him a tiny bit taller.

OH is 6ft5, I'm 5ft5. I get top-of-head-meets-collarbone, so deducting a suitable number of inches I agree with the other commenters - chest, bottom of rib cage.

~amused~ My brother is 'only' 6'4", and the bugger's been using my head as an elbow-rest, despite threats of biting, since he hit his final growthspurt. He's two years younger than li'l 5'2" me. ARGH!

:: Laughs:: Good thing the guy involved is, while a mean bastard to put it nicely, not very physical, since he could easily do that to shut her up.
